Title: Medicated chewing gum delivery system for nicotine
Inventor: CHERUKURI SUBRAMAN R
IPC: A61K31/522
Filed: 1999-09-03
Granted: 2011-10-04
Abstract: A chewing gum delivery system has nicotine, gum base and a buffer system with an improved release rate for the nicotine. The resulting delivery system advantageously provides a convenient, reliable, practical, and relatively painless system for delivering an active. The delivery system is capable of delivering initial and second doses of a craving reduction active or other actives (e.g., nicotine), the combination of which rapidly reduces cravings, or provides some other pharmacological effect, and provides the pharmacological effect or protection from such cravings over a prolonged period of time beyond the initial dose. Notably, the delivery system is capable of rapidly achieving a pharmacologically effective concentration of the active (e.g., nicotine) in the bloodstream (e.g., within 5 minutes, or more desirably within 3 minutes, or in some cases, within 1-2 minutes) and is also capable of keeping the concentration of the active in the bloodstream at or near the pharmacologically effective concentration for at least 20 minutes after chewing of the delivery system begins, or more desirably about 30 minutes to about 50 minutes after chewing begins.
Patent CA-2355750-C (CA)
Inventor: YODER LAMAR D
IPC: B01D46/42
Filed: 2001-08-23
Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: The invention is an inlet device or snow valve adapted to fit an air cleaner housing for a motor vehicle. The inlet device has an annular door with an open window that rotates between first and second positions. In the first position, the window of the annular door aligns with an outside air opening in the housing to allow the flow of outside air into the air cleaner apparatus. In the second position, the annular door rotates so the sidewall of the annular door covers the outside air opening and blocks the flow of outside air into the air cleaner apparatus. The second position allows the flow of under hood air into the air cleaner apparatus. In either position, the device preferably totally closes the other opening to assure all under hood intake air flow comes from the desired location.
